"When the Dreamcast launched on 9/9/99, the first game that I bought after Sonic was Ready 2 Rumble Boxing. Like many people, I had been waiting for an arcade boxing title with likable characters and over-the-top fighting moves in the vein of Punch Out! for some time, and R2R fit that bill perfectly despite being a bit light on depth. Now, nine years and one less memorable sequel later, Atari has dug through the wreckage of Midway to bring us Ready 2 Rumble: Revolution, a fist-swingin' waggletastic party game made specifically for the Wii. I went hands-on with this reboot at NY Comic Con to see if this game will make the series a contender yet again."

"The first mistake of the game was the fact that players had to be online constantly. A requirement. This has been a single player game for nearly 24 years, and now it's not. The big problem is that the servers the SC functioned on, barely worked." -Play Legit

Like other genres, boxing games have come a long way and are far from being the 8-bit characters they started off as. So how much have boxing games changed since they first came out for the Atari 2600?

I loved the original Ready 2 Rumble, have high hopes for this one.
That really does look like Simon Cowel...
I hope this kills Wii Boxing, although I think Punch Out!! will be the game to do that.
*still waiting for Punch Out!!*
